Can Coolsculpting Be Done On Neck?

CoolSculpting is a nonsurgical, fat removal technique that uses a handheld device to freeze and destroy fat cells. This noninvasive medical procedure is known as cryolipolysis and can be completed on one's lunch break, according to Dr. Adel Faltaous, chief of plastic surgery at Marshall Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. "Patients come first for a consultation from a board-certified surgeon, and we determine which areas of the body they'd like to treat. Approved treatment areas include the abdomen, inner and outer thighs, back, flank, arms and even underneath the chin," Faltaous said. "CoolSculpting requires no recovery time. We don't need incisions, needles, suction hoses or anesthesia." The type of fat each individual has determines the treatment they need, according to Taylor Dillard, a licensed practical nurse for Huntington Dermatology, who has conducted CoolSculpting procedures for more than a year. "We need to determine if you have the hard, visceral fat or the subcutaneous fat, which is squishy and directly under the skin," Dillard said.
